It would work okay with entirely fictional players but the problem you have is that when the game generates players they have ratings normalized for today's baseball. As a result the main problem is your fictional rookie pool would have all knids of guys with high homer numbers while the original deadball players are lucky to max out at 3 or 4 for homers. If you tried to change the settings so that the fictional rookies hit a maximum of 10-15 homers a year then the deadballers you started your league with would be lucky to hit 1 homer. There also would be problems with strikeouts and triples.

If you want deadball era stats with entirely fictional players it can be done by tinkering with the league settings but it just won't work properly combining fictional rookies and real life players from the deadball era.
